LISTEN ONLINE TO THIS SHOW SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST
RY COODER live in-studio talks about his new CD, “Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down.”  “There’s you, the citizen, running in circles like a headless chicken. And there they are, there they all are, herding you faster and faster through the circle maze of lies and distraction. Who will throw out the life line?  You need simple tools, and that’s what these songs are all about.” The Guardian gave the album five stars.  WATCH the video of  “Quicksand” HERE.

Plus: The lost decade after 9/11: RICK PERLSTEIN comments.  We’ll also talk about the Republican candidates’ debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley at 5pm.    Rick wrote about 9/11 for The American Prospect; his latest book is Nixonland.
